From Thomas Jefferson’s handwritten copy of the Declaration of Independence to a Ku Klux Klan robe, the Library’s collections guarantee that we cannot retreat from the realities — noble and ignoble — of the past.

I found this picture the most intersting. Its amazing how the spelling of words changed through out times, but it didnt change to be perfected but changed to satisfy society. It was way to expensive to make the letter 'S' a chisels, so they used 'F' instead. It makes me wonder what the english lanuage is going to evolve to in the near future due to texting. I wouldnt be surprised to find 'LOL' or 'TTYL' being defined in the dictionary.

This picture at first was weird to me but after a while it was the one that stuck to me the most.The picture was taken while the person was moving their head which I found to be very interesting.I love to take random pictures so this one reminded me of something I would do .The way the picture actually came out is really interesting because at first glance it looks like it was a ghost picture but then I read the information .I loved this picture and out of all the displays it seemed more unique

When I went to this library I was inspired and amazed. I have never been that surprise about a library. I got amazed by the structure of the building and that it still there since 100 years. The lions were cute and a perfect decoration, since it represents loyalty. The structures inside the building were amazing because each spot had its own creativity. Each part of the library was unique.

This machine was one of my dreams of having as a was a child. Since it looks attractive and a nice way to learn how our ancestors use them. This object inspire me because with just pressing the letters and numbers you could get the work done. It is also nice because you have to we awake to make sure you don't make mistakes. Also I learn that the authors use different type of this machines to publish their work. For example for the poem the use a small one and for a letter a big one. Since the paper sizer is smaller and the words on it. This was an exiting event because I learn that machines like those were very important for authors.

I had an amazing experience at the New York Public Library. What stood out to me the most was a drawing in the society section that said, "Men are not for burning." It was a very powerful quote. I think that it really set the tone for the section. The piece is very memorable to me because I believe that as a nation, we have over come many difficulties in our society. Our society is important because our lives revolve around our society. There are so many things that I could list that I really enjoyed, but this was by far my favorite piece.

My name is Jennifer Carchi and this is my poem dedicated to this piece
"Key with a Key"

The key to my heart
The key to her heart
The key to his heart
The key to a new chapter
The key to a new world
The key to an unknown place
The key to unlock a hidden secret
The key to open whatever you want
The key to success
The key to what ever is on your mind
What ever the key is for may well be the key to what ever you desire :)

My experience at the New York Public Library was beyond amazing. In fact, I'm not sure I can come up with a word to describe it. I was in awe at some of the exhibits. I left the Library with an expanded mind. From the KKK robe to the rocks they used to bills on. I never knew there was such a place in New York City that would contain everything. I am very thankful for having the opportunity to take a tour of the NYPL. I, without a doubt, came out a more educated person.

Makeup is something women use on a daily basis. Makeup is an essential part of women. Women use this time to explore their faces. They remove all the flaws and tiredness, in order to look beautiful, even though, they are already beautiful without it. Makeup was created not to erase flaws, but to flatter our best parts.
I loved this piece because it has so much meaning. With help of makeup, anyone can transform. This piece was an essential kit of a women. Thankfully, today makeup is smaller and more convenient, but it has the same meaning.
